Chef's Notes
Butter must be genuinely softened, not melted! If it turns to liquid, your shortbread will spread into a sad, greasy puddle instead of holding its majestic shape.
Pro Tip
Roll your dough between two sheets of parchment paper to prevent sticking without needing to dump excess flour onto your delicate floral dough.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Dropping the lavender ratio turns your divine shortbread into tasting like Grandma's fancy soap. Measure with precision, unless you want your dinner guests coughing up potpourri.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I asked the court jester if these cookies were fit for a king, and he said they were perfect for a queen who has lost her sense of smell.
The Culinary Science
Cornstarch is the secret weapon here; it interferes with gluten development in the flour, yielding that classic, melt-in-your-mouth crumbly texture.

Starch Retrogradation Reversal
Storage Science
Store at room temperature in a breathable bread bag or paper wrapper for up to 2 days. DO NOT refrigerate, as the cold accelerates starch retrogradation (staling). For long-term storage, freeze tightly wrapped.
Reheating Science
To reverse staling, flick a few drops of water onto the crust and reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-8 minutes. The steam will re-gelatinize the starches, making the crumb soft and the crust crisp.
